So interesting about your birds. Since I no longer have a dog, I’ve gotten more attuned to watching the birds. I’ve been putting birdseed on the deck railing and get a variety of birds showing up. Also the squirrels, of course.
It’s gotten where I really can’t sit on my deck for long. They see me out there and come flying nearby, waiting for me to put out seed. They won’t eat it if I’m still sitting on the deck, so I just go back indoors. They enjoy my deck more often than I do now...ha.
I have got Chickadees and Titmouses to eat from my hand, but...the Blue Jays like to keep their distance. They perch outside my office window and squawk at me, peering in through the window...wanting their peanuts.
They sure do love their peanuts.
Heh, I work in a trailer at a large hospital, and I love it. After so many years of working in places with cinderblock walls and no windows, I have an office in a trailer...a window I can open...and a screen I have removed. I am close to retirement, and after working nearly forty years with sixty hour weeks, this is a nice ending for me...:)
Anyway, due the virus crap, they told me not to come in because I have a bunch of co-morbidities, and I think they didn't want me to die before they could retire me, so they made me stay at home for a few months and work from there (which was a blessing for me)
But...I wondered what became of my bird friends. Did they miss me? Did they even know I was gone?
After it became clear to me that the virus thing was overblown, and that some precautions are pretty effective, I asked to be able to go back to work, and they let me come in for a couple of days a week.
First day back, I went into my office and opened the window. No bird feed in my feeder, no birds, squirrels, or anything. Deserted.
I went to take care of something, and when I went back to my office, there were about a dozen Blue Jays all sitting in the vegetation, motionless, all looking at me and my open window!
Waiting for their peanuts...
They remembered me...:)
